You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. I have a book and I think even a Broadway musical in me. It’s time to take all of my writing from here to my journal to other blogs and even twitter to craft my story.
Well today was a first! In the 15 years that I have intermittently done yoga I’ve never gotten kicked in the head by another participant…until today!
We’d gone through a few sun salutations and on the last one I gently got bopped in the head. It startled me more than anything, so I took a few breaths in child’s pose before resuming. She at least had yoga sock things on so her bare feet didn’t make contact with my hair! #fitness #fitblr #yogamishaps
All the size 12s I bought this weekend at NY&Co and Marshalls! WHITE PANTS, charcoal pants, black pants, and navy with stars!! Now I need to purge some of the pants I’ve been swimming in!
When you go clothes shopping and EVERY size 12 pants fit! I even bought some WHITE pants like I made a goal to do, now to wear them!
I’m an emoji ??
Tried on my first pair of skinny jeans ever, size 12. I didn’t buy them since summer is coming, but may pick up a pair this fall!
I got nominated for a Staff Performance Award by one of my students, this is the nomination she wrote. I’ve never received any sort of formal recognition for my work before and this is just beyond heartwarming!
WW Weigh in
At my Weight Watchers weigh in I was “only” up +1.4 pounds since my last WW weigh in the week before. Glad to see the large “gain” was only a blip and I’ve been getting my “blue dot days” all week.
Someone at my WW meeting read a sentence from a rower’s magazine that said exercise is not how people should try to lose weight, exercise should be to get strong. I think that mindset shift for me since joining weight watchers has been most powerful.
This is my 3000th post!
That’s crazy. I started this wild ride on January 3, 2010 and have been writing about “measuring life” ever since. That averages to 353 posts a year (I’ve certainly had years with counts higher and lower than that, but it tracks). I don’t really post on the weeks much, but I try to write a few times a week and generally more than 1 post a day when I do post.
In these almost 8.5 years I have NOT MISSED A MONTH of writing – that’s amazing, but I do admit I had some lean months here and there, but I always kept coming back.
We close my 12 step program meeting by saying “Keep coming back, it works if you work it and work it ‘cause you’re worth it.” I think that applies here too.
The more I give of myself in this space the more I get back. Thanks for being a part of this journey whether you’ve been here for nearly 3,000 posts or just 3.
I’m looking forward to seeing how I can expand this part of my life.
